"Evil begets evil!"
A soft shout descended from the sky, stopping Xie Shengxie, who was chasing after the Buddha's light: "Please stop!"
As Xie Shengxie stopped and raised his head, a towering crane seemed to descend from the sky, letting out a cry that shook the heavens and earth.
"Hehe, it's none of your business where I want to go!" Xie Shengxie became interested. He recognized the person in front of him, but he seemed even more powerful than before.
"Is that so?" The newcomer looked calmly at Xie Shengxie. As he gently waved his hand, the cloud crane stirred up the clouds in the sky, gathering patches of strange and colorful light.
"Nine Clouds Covering the Sky Grand Formation, hahaha, it seems you're really preparing to make your move!" Xie Shengxie glanced at the grand formation and said, "I never expected to arrive at such a perfect time, to witness such a grand spectacle!"
play?
The newcomer was very unhappy with the word, but ultimately he could not stop evil from arising, so he could only stop it here.
"They've come too, haven't they?" Xie Shengxie floated calmly in the air, looking at the people in front of him with great interest.
The newcomer did not answer Xie Shengxie's question, but a strange light flashed in his eyes.
"Hehehe, I'm very curious. Even if you succeed, so what?" Xie Shengxie put away his playful expression, his voice clear and cold as if it were soaring to the heavens, cutting away the rosy light gathered above, and then shooting towards the person in front of him: "Wu Sansi, it's not that I underestimate you, it's just that you are really useless!"
Wu Sansi!
Upon hearing his name called, Wu Sansi felt a sharp pain in his chest. A twisted force shattered everything he was so proud of, slamming him violently into the earth.
boom!
Sharp, tender shoots sprouted from the shattered earth. When Wu Sansi got up again, Xie Shengxie, floating in the sky, just looked at him indifferently, without making any move to attack.
"I, the Venerable One, will see if you can truly succeed!"
With a wave of his hand, Xie Shengxie caused identical, twisted sprouts to immediately grow on the invisible Nine-Colored Sky-Covering Array. Then, like a virus spreading, they quickly dyed the sky with an eerie, dark color.
At the same time, the Buddha Yuanmiaofa Tathagata who flew out of Xiangtan Temple finally arrived in the sky above a city.
Looking around, the ground below was filled with monks, men, women, and children, all dressed in thin, yellowish clothes, with shaved heads and kind, gentle smiles on their faces.
They seemed content with everything around them, steadily moving along the street, exchanging their goods for money, and then heading to other places to buy what they wanted.
Looking again, there was no noise on the street. Apart from the footsteps of the hundreds of thousands of people walking around, there were only some simple collision sounds.
At this moment, everyone noticed the Buddha Yuanmiaofa Tathagata appearing in the sky. As they stopped what they were doing, put down their objects, and raised their hands together, they knelt down and chanted sutras before the Buddha Yuanmiaofa Tathagata.
"The self-nature is pure and tranquil, containing the wisdom eye, the fixed sound of Nirvana, the body without fixed form, the Buddha's original wondrous Dharma, the Tathagata."
"The Tathagata Buddha, whose nature is pure and tranquil."
"The Buddha's wondrous Dharma, which is unpredictable in the past, future, and present, has entered my body through Nirvana."
As the chanting began, new Buddhist light gradually rose within the city, transforming into a golden and dazzling world that lifted the Buddha of the Original Dharma into the air, as if he were sitting at the center of the entire world.
“Amitabha, the Tathagata of Wonderful Dharma.” Faming’s voice rang out from the Tathagata of Wonderful Dharma: “This place should be a Buddhist land, a place in the world where people seek the Buddha’s pure and tranquility.”
"The Tathagata of Wonderful Dharma..." The crowd below bowed down in worship, repeating Faming's voice one after another, creating boundless waves of sound throughout the world: "This should be the land of Buddha, this should be the land of tranquility."
The sounds from the side spread towards the sky, attracting more shouts and awakening more Buddha's light, drawing countless gazes from this world.
"I shall guard this place and stand for the peace and tranquility of heaven and earth."
Faming spoke again, but this time his voice was followed by a strange, shimmering light, as he raised his hand and stirred up some secrets hidden beneath the earth.
"The phoenix, adorned with peonies, displays its heroic spirit."
"When all birds pay homage to the phoenix, the world is at peace."
Amidst the radiance, a fiery phoenix flew in from the sky, its towering fiery wings scattering dazzling light spots in the Buddha's light, stirring up patches of golden light and shadow resembling blooming peonies.
At this moment, a figure dressed in a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe appeared above the Buddha's light, standing on five-colored clouds before the Buddhist kingdom supported by countless monks, and controlling a fire phoenix to land on the ground in the very center of the city.
boom!
The earth trembled, and a palace rose from the ground, pointing directly into the Buddhist kingdom, capturing everyone's attention.
“The Heavenly Emperor Zhao, whose name is Sun and Moon Light, rode on five-colored clouds to come to the Buddha’s ears. She was actually a Bodhisattva, but appeared in the form of a woman.”
"Emperor Zhao!"
The monks cheered along with the sounds of heaven and earth.
Amid cheers, several figures appeared on the palace, followed by four dazzling characters appearing in the sky above the palace.
Myriad God Palace!
However, this is only the beginning.
"When the Martial Dynasty emerged, the Phoenix lineage manifested. The Kun (Earth) was solid as ice, and Yin replaced Yang, thus giving rise to the title of Qian Yuan!"
A phoenix cry echoed above the divine palace, its fleeting sound sweeping across the land, followed by a series of loud calls directed towards the Holy Tang Dynasty.
At that very moment, a phoenix cry also appeared in the distant sky, echoing the phoenix cry above the divine palace, plucking the strings of heaven and earth and attracting tens of millions of miles of fiery aurora.
"Phoenix Vein!"
Countless fire phoenixes emerged from the fiery red aurora, soaring one after another towards the sky. However, these fire phoenixes could neither ascend to the heavens nor descend to the netherworld; they were confined within that aurora.
"Let's do it!"
Seeing this, the four figures that appeared in the divine palace laughed in unison. One of them threw a punch straight at the sky, unleashing a powerful golden fist shadow that seemed to pierce through the aurora that sealed the Phoenix Vein.
“Amitabha, this phoenix is destined to be with me and the Buddha’s land. She should be the Buddha’s mother, sharing the Buddha’s fortune and spreading the Dharma for me.” Faming’s voice rang out again, and the Buddha Yuan Miaofa Tathagata, who was floating in the sky, also summoned a palace in the Buddha’s land, providing a peaceful and tranquil place for the phoenix that was about to escape its imprisonment.
Meanwhile, the Wanfozhen boundary marker behind the Buddha Yuanmiaofa Tathagata, which had somehow returned to its original state, also lit up, guiding the aurora in the sky along an exceptionally safe path.
The two paths converged, and the Buddhist kingdom shone brightly. Immediately afterwards, Buddha Yuanmiaofa Tathagata, who was sitting in the clouds, also made a lotus-shaped hand seal with his hands, and faintly reached out to lift up the phoenix vein in the sky.
At this moment, the woman who had remained silent in the Myriad Manifestations Palace finally nodded. A fire phoenix flew out from the crying phoenix vein, pierced through the shattered aurora, and landed on the lotus seal of Buddha Yuanmiaofa Tathagata.
As the figure emerged from the divine palace, those majestic eyes were instantly imprinted in everyone's hearts.
Wu Zetian was the emperor of the Wu Dynasty.
The Holy Tang Dynasty revered Taoism, while she revered Buddhism, vowing to usher in a golden age for the dynasty in her female form!
However, at that moment, several figures appeared in the calm sky, blocking the fire phoenix that was trying to escape the aurora and stopping everyone's actions.
"Yuan Tiangang, the new Buddhist dynasty is ordained by the Phoenix lineage, why do you insist on obstructing this emperor!" Wu Zetian shouted angrily.
